At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.
The Title and Launch Management (TLM) team is responsible for building and innovating the technology foundations that enable the ingest, setup, launch, and global distribution of all types of entertainment on Netflix—including series, movies, games, ads, live events, trailers, and more. TLM acts as the bridge between the title creation lifecycle and the consumer experience, ensuring that launching titles on Netflix is efficient, flexible, accurate, and scalable. Our team's goal is to make launching titles as seamless as possible, supporting both operational and creative needs across the company.
The Catalog Integration team turns the outputs of many independent content workflows into a coherent catalog that other systems can use. Partner teams create the artwork, language assets, ratings, descriptions, trailers, and other information that surrounds a title; Catalog Integration provides the federated data API and transformation layer that bring those outputs together, connects them into the catalog graph, and transforms them into a consistent view.
We publish the real-time feeds that unblock every downstream, member-facing system — the moment our feeds go out, hundreds of services spring into action to serve that update to members. We invest in proprietary, cutting-edge tooling for data snapshots, recovery, graph-aware rollbacks, fast/override publication lanes, and realtime overrides, so that one bad entry never holds up the rest of the catalog. Our work enables Netflix's cutting edge business bets like Live, Games, and Sports while continuing to deliver the critical data that drives the streaming video content experience.
What you will do
You will lead a team of software engineers to deliver high-impact results. Your responsibilities in this role:
- Own the reliability and timeliness of the real-time catalog feeds and publication pipeline that unblock every downstream, member-facing system, including the fast lanes and override lanes that keep a bad entry from holding up the rest of the catalog
- Own Catalog Entity, our shared content modeling abstraction, evolving it to represent common structure and content-type-specific variation across films, episodic series, live shows, sports, and future content types without requiring a bespoke pipeline for each
- Own the data integrity of the catalog: validate collected data against the model and business logic, hold back or override bad changes, and detect and remediate systemic feed failures
- Partner with peer teams on setup-side object modeling and on the downstream member-facing contract
- Lead collaboration with engineers, program managers, product managers, and other stakeholders to drive vision, strategy, and adoption
- Foster a culture of accountability, ensuring timely and reliable delivery of the team's roadmap to support business needs
- Act as a trusted technical advisor, guiding thoughtful decision-making in ambiguous situations
- Communicate complex ideas clearly and influence decisions among diverse stakeholders
- Balance business goals with strong engineering practices, investing in foundational work and continuous improvements
- Hire, coach, and lead a team of engineers with deep data modeling and distributed systems expertise, inspiring exceptional results in stability, performance, and product experience
- Build an inclusive team culture where everyone feels empowered, accepted, and respected
What we are looking for
- 3 or more years building and managing high-performing, inclusive teams, attracting top talent, fostering accountability, and ensuring all voices inform decisions.
- Experience delivering and operating high-performance data pipelines with near-real-time latency, balanced with consistency and partition tolerance, behind production internet consumer-scale workloads
- Experience driving a culture of excellence, unlocking high-velocity business and product results while cultivating an ownership culture with best-in-breed systems reliability and operational readiness.
- Proven ability to define and communicate systems strategy to drive long-term product feature enablement.
- Skilled at prioritizing team efforts, aligning them with business objectives, and using data, input, and pilot investments to bring rigor to decision-making.
- Effective communication and collaboration skills to build cross-functional partnerships, influence strategic direction, and empower team members across global teams.
Nice to have
- Experience building generative AI solutions in ambiguous environments, with a proven ability to creatively experiment, develop innovative approaches, and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.
- Experience leading engineering teams supporting large-scale data pipelines updating in the 10M+ updates/second regime
- Experience with in-memory data snapshot architectures, point-in-time consistency, or graph-aware rollback/recovery systems
- Experience leading the operation and optimization of CPU- and memory-intensive cloud services in the range of 1,000s to 10,000s of CPUs

Tailor your resume to Netflix's engineering stack
Netflix engineering roles emphasize distributed systems, chaos engineering, and cloud-native architecture. Align your resume to those domains specifically. Generic software engineering resumes get filtered before they reach a recruiter who evaluates sponsorship feasibility.
Target roles that match your visa category
Netflix sponsors multiple visa types, but not every role aligns equally with each category. E-3 applicants need a specialty occupation match, while TN requires a qualifying profession. Confirm your target role's job description maps to your visa's occupational requirements before applying.
Request a sponsorship conversation early in recruiting
Netflix's recruiting process moves fast. Raise visa sponsorship before you reach the offer stage so the recruiting coordinator can loop in HR and legal. Surprises at the offer letter stage create delays that can cost you the timeline you need.
Prepare your degree equivalency documentation in advance
USCIS requires a specialty occupation degree match for H-1B petitions. If your degree is from a non-U.S. institution or in a field adjacent to your engineering role, get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before your employer files the I-129.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Engineering roles at Netflix
Netflix's engineering job board updates frequently and roles move quickly. Use Migrate Mate to filter open Engineering positions at Netflix that are available to visa-sponsored candidates, so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is already confirmed.
Understand how PERM affects your Green Card timeline
If Netflix pursues EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship for you, PERM labor certification is the first step and can take 12 to 18 months. Starting that conversation during onboarding, not years later, meaningfully shortens your wait for permanent residence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Netflix sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, Netflix sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering roles. The role must qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, which Engineering positions at Netflix consistently meet given their degree requirements in computer science, electrical engineering, or related technical fields. Netflix participates in the annual H-1B cap lottery, so timing your application cycle to the April filing window is essential.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at Netflix?
Applications go through Netflix's careers site. Engineering roles typically require a technical screen followed by multiple rounds of system design and coding interviews. You can also browse Netflix Engineering roles that include visa sponsorship through Migrate Mate, which filters positions by visa type so you can confirm sponsorship availability before you apply.
Which visa types does Netflix sponsor for Engineering roles?
Netflix sponsors H-1B, E-3 visa, TN visa, and J-1 visas for Engineering roles, along with supporting F-1 OPT and CPT for students and new graduates. For longer-term employment, Netflix also pursues EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant visa sponsorship. The right category depends on your nationality, degree, and where you are in your career.
What qualifications does Netflix look for in Engineering candidates who need sponsorship?
Netflix Engineering roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field. This matters for visa purposes too: the H-1B and E-3 both require a specialty occupation match between your degree and the role. Strong experience in distributed systems, APIs, or infrastructure is consistently valued across Netflix engineering teams.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Netflix Engineering offer?
Timeline depends on visa type. An E-3 or TN can be processed in weeks, making them faster paths for eligible nationals. H-1B petitions are cap-subject, so they follow the April lottery cycle with an October 1 start date. USCIS premium processing reduces adjudication to 15 business days once filed. For Green Card sponsorship via PERM, expect 12 to 24 months from initiation to I-140 approval.
